Sunrisers Hyderabad opener Abhishek Sharma smashed four sixes in as many balls against Lucknow Super Giants' Ravi Bishnoi and reached his half century of just 18 balls at the Ekana Stadium on Monday.
Sharma took on Bishnoi in the seventh over of the innings in SRH's chase of 206 runs. After the first two balls went for a dot and a single, Sharma smashed the third ball over long off. The ball went to the distance even though it was not well timed. Next, Sharma picked the google and sent the ball sailing into the stands over long on. He did not stop there and whacked the fifth ball of the over straight over the bowler's head to make it three in a row. The final ball of the over was pulled towards mid wicket. It was not timed well again, but the ball went past Nicholas Pooran for another six.
However, Sharma's blitzkrieg knock came to an end he holed out to extra cover, trying to take on Digvesh Rathi. The bowler and the batter had a few words after the dismissal and the umpires had to intervene.
Earlier, LSG scored 205/7 in 20 overs with the help of half centuries from openers Mitchell Marsh and Aiden Markram. Nicholas Pooran chipped in with a quick-fire 45 runs in a must win game for the team.
